A diver in Japan becomes unconscious during a risky operation aiming to recover human remains from the depths of the ocean. The incident occurred earlier this week when the diver - whose identity has not been released yet – began the underwater exploration. The fateful dive was part of an investigation connected to an unresolved case. The Search and Rescue teams are currently stepping up their efforts to locate and rescue the missing diver.

In Japan, there's great respect for the deceased and complete retrieval of remains is seen as honoring the dead. Consequently, occupations like deep-sea divers are highly respected, their tasks are seen as risky but noble. This incident has sparked conversations around the risks associated with such operations and whether adequate safety measures are provided for divers.

In the US or EU, the recovery of remains from dangerous locations like the deep sea is usually handled with equal reverence but may be more bureaucratically strung, with different practices in different states or countries. The safety of the operators is also highly prioritized, and any such incident would trigger a review of safety protocols.
